Chapter 713 Half Points
"We are here, there are a lot of them in the mountains, but this toy has thorns on the outside, it's hard to open, and you can't eat it. What's the use of this thing?" What is the use.
Xi Yao listened, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "This is the treasure, you are the ones who are guarding Baoshan and don't know what a treasure is!"
"What?" The crowd gathered around and looked at the things in her hands, but the second monk couldn't touch her head.
"What's the use of this, is it medicine?" Zhou Rong asked with a serious face.
Slipped the chestnut in her hand, and she announced with a smile: "This is a chestnut, it can be eaten, it can be used as food, it can also be used as a vegetable, it can be used as a snack, as a snack, and it tastes very good!"
"How is it possible?" Everyone doubted.
It’s just such a thing, how could it be so good.
"Why is it impossible?" Xi Yao took out all the chestnuts in the box, and there were only seven or eight in total.
She neatly removed these burrs, then slashed two cuts on the hard shell, and said, "I made it for you to eat, you can taste it, Ah Li, go make a fire!"
Zhou Li was also surprised, and immediately went into the kitchen in cooperation.
The few people who were going back to the barracks looked at each other, Zhou Rong finally decided to stay and have a look.
Xi Yao was busy in the kitchen, Dad Awang and the others were still muttering...
"This mountain has grown so much that no one knows it's edible!" They still feel like they are dreaming.
"That's it!"
They feel bad for what was wasted in previous years.
A few chestnuts, which were cooked in no time.
After Xi Yao fished out the chestnut that opened her mouth, she directly took it out for everyone to see.
"This chestnut is burnt after it has been scratched. The shell is very easy to peel!" After saying that, she peeled off the shell, and then handed it to Zhou Rong and said, "Not much, you can hide it separately, and then give it to Zhou Rong. The general will bring one back, and tomorrow you will go up the mountain to get all the chestnuts back, this thing is a good thing, especially good for children and the elderly, and you can still eat!"
There are few things, so everyone will have a taste.
"Don't say it, this thing is quite fragrant!" After tasting it carefully, everyone expressed their own opinions.
Dad Awang squeezed the small piece of chestnut he had been allocated, rubbed a little bit and put it in his mouth. After tasting the slightly sweet and glutinous taste, he knew that what they said was true.
This thing is really a good baby.
They don't even know.
"Master, let's pick it up early tomorrow morning!?" Everyone said happily.
This is all for eating.
The food in the barracks is almost mainly coarse grains.
There were still river fish before, but because there were more catches, there were fewer fish, and there were many people, so it would be nice if everyone could have a bowl of fish soup.
"Yeah!" When Zhou Rong nodded, Xi Yao accidentally discovered that Father Awang and the others were hesitant to say anything...
Xi Yao thought for a while, and said to Zhou Rong, "The back mountain is connected to Aozi Village, and it's not easy for anyone to live now. The chestnuts belong to them, either half in the army camp, half in the village, and after the picking is finished, Let people spread the word that chestnuts can be eaten, which can also alleviate the situation of food shortage!"
Zhou Rong subconsciously set his eyes on Father Awang and the others. Seeing their stunned faces, he obviously did not expect Xi Yao to say that. He nodded and said, "In that case, let the villagers go up the mountain to pick them tomorrow!"
"I... I'll tell the village chief when I go back, go up the mountain early tomorrow morning!" Father Awang said happily when he saw that he had no objection.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have wages, food is the most important thing.
